I am new to NPVR, and am a little bit unsure as to how to check compatibility.

Many Thanks

Tue, 11 Jul 2017 01:51:34 GMTI'm about to embark on a journey to cut the cable company. So I'm going to build a dedicated PC to run NextPVR and Kodi and need some advice on what hardware is most important for a good experience.

What do you guys think? From what I understand, the video card and disk drive is the most important. Should I get a high end card or will that hit the point of diminishing returns? Disk space is cheap unless I need solid state. Do I need solid state?

I think heat and power consumption should also be a consideration of mine.

I'd like to build something that wouldn't need any upgrades for at least 3 years.

Sun, 09 Jul 2017 02:16:32 GMTDisclaimer: Just starting to jump into the the PVR world.

I just received my Hauppauge WinTV PVR 500 tuner from ebay and dropped it in. Then had Windows 10 install the driver and it looked ok from the perspective of Device Manager. But in NextPVR, it's not listed as a device. I only see "IPTV Device". Is this card too old to use? I also don't have a WinTV installation disk, as again, the card is from ebay. Logs attached. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

With direct TV, I was able to use a program called Dtvtune.exe and change the channels on my set top box with the command "C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts\http\dtvtune.exe -ip 192.168.0.8 -channel %1"

Are Xfinity receivers capable of doing this as well ?

I have two burning questions regarding using cable cards with Optimum. My current setup with Verizon works very well with mostly Fox channels NOT marked as "copy-freely." I use a set top box for those. I know that HDHomeRun will return digital rights management(DRM) status by channel when asked to "Detect Channels." Hauppauge DCR-3250 does not. HDHomeRun also returns the encoding by channel as either MPEG2 or h.264. Again, DCR-3250 does not.

My Optimum service area for the channel lineup I believe is identified as Dutchess County in the Mid Hudson Region.

Questions:

1) Does anyone in forum-land know how Optimum stacks up as far as "copy-freely" channels?

2) Can anyone offer a list of the channel lineup as reported by HDHomeRun that shows encoding?

I would greatly appreciate if some one in this Optimum service area would upload the <HDHomeRunDeviceIP>/Lineup.xml file created by detecting channels. That file will have all the information I need to help me decide on moving to Optimum.

Many thanks.

Thu, 01 Jun 2017 15:36:58 GMTHello all!
I've been using this wonderful program for years now (back when it was gbpvr even :) ) and love it! Thanks everyone for all you do!

So I've been limping along on upgrades to OS over these years and have been on my 32-bit operating system. Sadly my tried and true PCI Hauppauge PVR150's won't work on 64-bit :(
I'm tired of being limited on my ram by 32-bit and have a nice solid state with Win 10 64-bit on it ready to go, I just need tuners that will work!

I'm totally analog and this isn't going to change in the next number of years, so I'm still on the old-tech side.
I'm looking to record 2 shows at once. I'd love to have one card that had 2 tuners and be good to go if that was possible. I'd prefer to stick with internal vs USB as I've seen a lot of comments regarding the USBs failing after a year or two or 3 but the cards being solid. (Any comments to this claim?)

It works well but I'm looking at a new setup and want to go to an external USB capture device for the HDMI input.

Anyone have a good handle on what options I might have? Is the Hauppauge HDPVR2 the right move? Ideally I want to keep the same functionality as the Colossus, but I don't to spend too much $$ if possible. Are there other cheaper options for HDMI capture that work well with NextPVR?

Tue, 28 Mar 2017 00:21:25 GMTI've been using a pair of HVR-2250 tuner cards about 7 years now. One of the tuners died a couple years ago, so I'm down to just the one tuner now.

I've been happy with the HVR-2250, but I get a lot of drop outs and data corruption with weak stations on the HVR-2250. Our TV's have no problems with the same stations on the same antenna.

Has anyone here upgraded from a HVR-2250 to the newer Hauppauge QuadHD tuner? Does the QuadHD tuner perform any better with weak stations than the old HVR-2250 does?
